Hartford and Heyniger will again be the opposing pitchers and another close pitchers' battle may be expected. In the Princeton game last Saturday, Hartford proved his ability beyond all question and should be equally effective today, while Heyniger can always be relied upon to pitch good ball. With the two teams so evenly matched, as shown in the first game, and with very little choice between the pitchers it will be the finer points of inside baseball that will win or lose the game this afternoon...

To his mind, the question of the young instructor resolves itself into a question of individual fitness and personality, and the good judgment of those who are responsible for the appointment of such instructors. Every class contains a number of men who, owing to their peculiar aptitudes and interests, are quite competent...
